Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

In December 2020, Council approved the conversion of George Street into a pedestrian boulevard between Bathurst Street and Railway Square. The approval included the permanent road closure of Thomas Street at Hay Street.

To improve parking for businesses, the City proposes to change parking in Thomas Street, between Hay Street and Ultimo Road, and Ultimo Road, between George and Quay Streets.

A parking proposal was considered and deferred by the Committee at their meeting on 18 February 2021.

An amended proposal has been developed for the Committee's consideration following further consultation with the community.
